Soil disturbance from forest practices ranges from barely perceptible to very obvious, and from positive to nil to negative effects on forest productivity and / or hydrologic function. Currently, most public and private land holders and various other interested parties have different approaches to describing this soil disturbance.

In this paper, the effects of stumpage prices and forest and landowner characteristics on nonindustrial private forest owners' long-run timber supply are examined using cross-sectional variation in a data set of 1860 landowners in Finland during 1994-1998. We estimate an inverse hyperbolic sine Tobit model allowing for heteroscedasticity and non-normality of errors.

Much of the recent work in reducing wildland fire danger has occurred in the western and southeastern United States. However, high-risk areas do exist at the wildland-urban interface areas in the Northeast and very little work has been done to understand the fire management issues in this region.

Nonindustrial private forest (NIPF) landowners own the majority of timberlands in the southern United States. As forest certification becomes more prevalent, it is important to understand the implications for NIPF landowners.

Recognition of the importance of institutions that provide security of property rights and relatively equal access to economic resources to a broad cross-section of society has renewed interest in the potential of asset redistribution, including land reforms. Empirical analysis of the impact of such policies is, however, scant and often contradictory.

De agrarische grondprijs in verstedelijkte gebieden wordt gedomineerd door de mate van stedelijke druk. In de meer afgelegen landbouwgebieden wordt de hoogte van diezelfde agrarische grondprijs in belangrijke mate bepaald door de verhouding tussen het aantal kopers en verkopers op lokale agrarische grondmarkten.
